Good Hunting

Try manually navagating the Kiel Canal. That will keep you busy.
Take constant depth checks and don't panic when you get lost.

Download my gramaphone tunes.....or go abroad on vacation for a couple of weeks

Use the Real Navigation mod. If your gonna do it, do it the hard way.

Good luck out there Rivet, I hope your few weeks vacation is enough for one patrol!

You are awesome

yes im married and she is going to be my first mate and ship's cook! :rotfl:

Actually, im taking a leave of absence from my job to return to school and i have a lot of time off in August before school starts up, also a little vacation action.

I figured i might as well get this whole 1x thing out of my system while i have the time off.

thanks for all of the suggestions... ill skip the bucket one though. the first mate was not keen on the idea of being assigned bucket dumping duties.

i think ill look into the real navigation mod as i have not really played with it, but i do rather like the convenience of the auto navigation not having me serve as WO, NO and Capt all in one sitting.

another "problem"... my anniversary is the 9th of August.

guess that will require some creative planning!

So far my plan is to leave port on the evening of the 31st of this month

'So dear, happy anniversary'

'Schiff gesichted!'

'verdammt noch ma... I mean, you too dear'

Good one!

Ask her if she'd like to go on an anniversary cruise....but with a difference

Frank0001 · 07-13-08, 12:29 PM

I was told GRivet likes the cruise ships, especially within 1000 meters and without escorts

Better not tell Mrs. Rivet about the escorts, she might think of something entirely different!

'What are you doing dear?'

'Not now, I'm looking for an escort'

'Whaaaat??'

For full immersion:

1) Stock up with a boatload of food in your bedroom and do not exit the room... even when you need to use the bathroom (carry a bucket or tub for your waste).

2) Don't bathe often.

3) Get some friends to come over and join in (make sure they're ready to hang around for weeks and weeks without ever leaving the room).

4) Find some good books to read and maybe stock up with some magazines or music records.

5) Wear a u-boat commander's uniform (this includes buying any medals your guy might have earned so far in the game).

6) Close your door up and stuff rags under the opening to keep fresh air from flowing in; close the windows up tightly, too. This will simulate the stuffy and claustrophobic environment of a u-boat. Also, only open your windows when your boat is surfaced in the game (don't open the door, though).

Great tips

And light a few firecrackers as soon as you get DC'ed!
